About June
June Thompson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses topics such as self-esteem, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, career changes, and coping with life transitions.
June brings a direct and practical style to sessions. She works collaboratively and helps clients untangle patterns that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
She may offer focused exercises or give homework when it fits, and she can also follow the client’s lead when a gentler pace is needed. Her training includes work in marriage and family therapy and additional academic study related to research. She blends structured tools with open conversation to identify thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems.
The goal is to help people make changes they want for themselves. June draws on 20 years of hands-on experience in clinical practice and supervision. She pays attention to both feelings and the practical steps that follow from insight.
Outside work she enjoys hiking and backpacking, which she finds helps clarify thinking. Clients can expect practical problem-solving rooted in empathy. Sessions aim to clarify patterns, build skills, and support real-life changes over time.
Practical approaches for online family and parenting work
June uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing as primary ways to help people online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching skills that can be used between sessions.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused style that helps people find their own reasons for change. It’s useful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about making shifts in relationships, parenting, or health habits.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then adapt methods together. This collaborative process helps shape whether sessions are more structured or more exploratory.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit regular work on parenting, relationships, or personal growth into daily life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
